Correspondence.

ANOTHER *“REFORM” CARD,

To the Editor of the Examiner,

Sin,—I have seen a copy of an address to the electors of Ward 4, issued by Mr. D, il. McKinnon, which. for egregious non —_ exceeds any public card 1 have ever read, not what his standing in society may be, who writes such horrible trash respecting “retrenchment and (whole.) sale of city debentures’’ as Mr. McKinnon writes, is utterly unfit to represent even so small a constituency as a ward in our small city.

I am quite willing to hear the advocacy of earnest economy, but the oandid ite for Civic represeutation who advocates the re- duction of taxes on rental, without promis. ing to provide for the Joss, from some other source, would only disgrace himself in the City Council.

Respectfully, Reason,

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

Wasuineson, D. C., July 31, 1877.

Ouk city is rapidly settling down to its normal condition after the turmoil and cx. citement over the disturbance caused by the strikers on the railroad. Such a state of affairs never before existed in our bes loved land; and the waetchedness and suf fering that will result from it are fearful to contemplate. The misery that these riotous times causes falls upon the already poverty stricken classes; therefore the harm seems all the greater. Poor people who have been ground down so low tkat, in their abject destitution they have grown desperate, have brought all t:.is death and destruction upon themselves. Trodden upon, they have turned, only to meeta swifter punishment from the foot already upon their necks. Their revolt is their voluntary ruin. Butthe suffering caused by itis the same. When the scanty pors tion, by which these workingmen are able to feed their families, from day to day, is cut off, what can the helpless ones do -but beg, and starve, and die. There’s not so much to choose after all, between their lots, and those of their sons, brothers hus. binds, and fathers, who were stricken dead by one blow of a brick bat, or trampled to dust by the infuriated mob of which they were, a moment before, forming a part Chere is nothing amusing or laughable in the dreadful condition of things from which thousands are suffering to-day, nothing other than lamentable and sorrowtul in the extreme. Last Sunday week, Henry Ward Beecher in his own pulpit, referring to it, proclaimed the comforting (?) fact that ‘a man who cant live on bread and water, is'nt fit to live,” and that a man may live, love, and be happy on bread and good wa- ter in the morning, water and good bread at noon, and good bread and water at night.”’ Also, that a dollar a day 1s encw:zb to buy bread for even a large family. ‘I'he latter assertion is’ a fact. But besides bread, a family must be clothed and shelt- ered, lighted and warmed. . When worst comes to worst, people can, and do die of starvation and exposure, But it makes their survivors more the more docile. People who, in tone and manner, if not in words, taunt the suicidal rioters into wilder desperation yet -as Mr. Beecher’s sermon on the present crisis seems to do- cannot give the poor wretches such an answer, as did the young and sickly Napolean to a busy fish wife in Paris when she yelled to the mob she was heading. «‘ these soldiers and aristocrats care not if we poor people starve, so long as they grow fat!” Suid the brave young Napoleon ‘: Look at me, good woman, and tell me which is the fatter, you ort.”

As soon as practicable after this strikers commotion came to be considered serious, steps were taken for the protection of Gov- ernment buildings and property here. Indeed, troops were collected and placed on guard here when it would seem that the first thing to be done was to send mili- tary help to Martinsburg or Baltimore. The Government looks out for number one first, however, like smaller institutions and even individuals, and the capital is well protected from riots, mobs, or any like up- rising. Double night watches have guard. ed the Treasury, which is always the objec» tive point, and telegraph wires were ex- tended t> President Hayes’ summer resi- dence at Soldiers’ Home, so that he might be informed of any sudden intelligence of importance.

‘The Capital is the Capital only in name and in its public buildings now. The Pa-

tent Office, the Treasury, the White House

and the Capital stand in their accustomed places; but there is no lifs or business. Everybody is out of town, and we who are left live more in our dreams with friends in the country, at the sea side or on the mountains, than here in the heated. broil. ing, drowsy city, where nothing is sweet or fresh or invigorating. Men and women walk about the streets—those who must be out, with wet sponges in their hat tops and even horses are provided with brain shades or wear huge saturated sponges between their ears. There is but another month of extreme heat, though, and then the city will begin to fill up-——earlier than usual be- cause Of the session «t Congress in Octos ber. M.M. W:

By an explosion in a mould of hot metal, ina Pittsburgh foundry, on the Ist inst., two men were fatally and eight seriously in‘ured.
